Great Place!
We really had a fantastic time staying at “The Ginger Jai Ari”.
The whole house must be just after an extensive renovation because the house was immaculate and very fresh looking, with fine attention to detail with the decor, we loved the the ginger jar with its blue and white theme and lovely collection of china ware on display in the living area. We were three couples staying here, and there was an abundance of space for us in the house, particularly the dining area with it’s solid wood dining table my wife just loved it, if she could have taken it home she would have. So much more comfortable than staying in a hotel because not only do you get your room but also the kitchen, dining room and tv room to relax in as well, and after a long day checking out Bangkok it’s nice to chill out with friends, watch tv have some snacks to eat before getting ready to go out for the night. Which you can’t do really in a hotel, not at the same comfort level anyways.
I really liked the location, as it was only a 3/5min walk to soi ari which has lots of nice restaurants and bars, some of which were quite trendy, good vibe about the place nice hustle and bustle which I like, and because we were staying like only a few mins walk from the busy restaurant and bar area our cosy little street was just the right amount of distance away so you didn’t get disturbed by any noise at all, it really was the best of both worlds. Soi Ari also has a BTS station which makes getting around Bangkok so much easier than by taxi.
I also must mention Tan who was our host, she was an absolute pleasure to deal with, very friendly and accommodating, very good level of English which made communicating a breeze. She also told us of some good places to go to in the evening around the soi ari area, which was very helpful as there is quite a lot to chose from. We took one of her suggestions and the six of us went to a restaurant called “Lay Lao” it also had plenty of good reviews online so we went there, my god we were not disappointed at all.
All in all a fantastic stay from start to finish. Next time I stay in Bangkok with a group friends the Ginger Jar will be top of my list for sure.
